The Adventurer's Guide to Standard Armour =========================================== by Robert DeLoura (deloura@noaapmel.govr), and Boudewijn Wayers (kroisos@win.tue.nl). The table below works as follows: The first column lists the real name of the armour. Note that the armours are sorted by type of armour (shirts, full armour, cloaks e.a., helmets e.a., gloves and gauntlets, boots, and shields), each of which can be worn exactly one of. Tanko, kabuto and yugake are Japanese names for the same armour that they are mentioned with. Most of the categories are sorted by name, excesp the full armour, which is sorted by AC. "AC" is the number of armour class points you gain from a +0 version of the piece of armour. "Pr" is the probability that this armour will be randomly generated, on a scale of one-in-a-thousand (for example when you are polymorphing). The "Powers" column denotes any magical properties the armour has. The various entries mean the following: Power Meaning Power Meaning ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shops Shopkeepers charge you more Int Enhances your intelligence Sleep Grants sleep resistance Str Enhances your strength Disint Grants disintegration resistance Dex Enhances your dexterity Magic Grants magic resistance Wis Enhances your wisdom Fire Grants fire resistance Displac Displaces you Cold Grants cold resistance Fumble Makes you fumble a lot Shock Grants shock resistance Fast Speeds you up Poison Grants poison resistance WWalk Makes you walk on water ESP Confers Extra Sensory Perception Jump You can jump Protect Gives additional protection Invis Makes you invisible # Gives some protection against Stealth Confers stealth special attacks (the more #'s, Rust Protects agains rust the better the protection, it's Reflect Reflects certain attacks getting exponentially better) Align Changes your alignment An asterisk in the "Appearance" column means that the appearance (see below) of the item changes from game to game. Per type, the items are sorted by alphabet, except for body armour, which is sorted by armour class first. "Appearance" is what a character who is not knowledgeable about the specific type of armour would think the armour was, if this is different from its normal name. If this space is left blank (--), the item is recognized by everyone. "Wt" is weight. Weight is dependent on what an item really is, not on its appearance. For example, a helm of brilliance would always weigh 30, no matter what it was called. Finally, the "Made of" column lists what the armour is made of. IRON denotes ferrous metals, including steel. Only IRON armour can rust. Only COPPER corrodes.
